Belltail

/ˈbɛlteɪl/ noun

Definition

A type of plant with a bell-shaped flower, or a fish with a bell-shaped tail structure.

Etymology

Compound of 'bell' plus 'tail,' descriptive of the shape. May refer to specific species in botany or ichthyology.

Kelly Says

Bell-shaped flowers are pollinator magnets because the bell shape funnels bees directly to nectar at the base—it's evolutionary design, and 'belltail' plants are masters of this strategy.
